BELLIURE ENDURANCE 35 ESMERALDA

The Belliure ENDURANCE 35 is a pre-owned sailboat with a solid ocean pedigree, currently available in Barcelona, the eponymous province, and ready to embark on new voyages. With a length of 10.75 meters, a beam of 3.35 meters, and a draft of 1.72 meters, this sailboat, built in 1980 by the renowned shipyard Belliure Calpe and designed by Peter Ibold, reflects the balance between nautical tradition and technical preparation for long distances. The Belliure brand is synonymous with high-level Spanish craftsmanship, always standing out for its robustness and attention to detail in the manufacture of sailboats designed to face demanding seas. This particular model has earned recognition from sailors worldwide for its reliability and ability to undertake ocean crossings with safety and comfort.

The ENDURANCE 35 has established itself over the decades as a benchmark among long-distance cruisers, thanks to its long keel and classic design oriented towards safe navigation in open waters. More than 750 units have been launched in different configurations, which speaks to the success and trust this model generates among sailors. In the case of this unit, the history of renovations and improvements is notable: it underwent a complete reconstruction in 2017, followed by an extensive modernization between 2017 and 2018 in preparation for its participation in the Golden Globe Race, one of the most demanding challenges for any sailboat and crew. During that refit, the structure was reinforced, new rigging, ballast, rudder, state-of-the-art North Sails, and a Volvo Penta D2-40 engine were installed, providing the boat with greater reliability and autonomy.

The technical equipment of this Belliure ENDURANCE 35 meets the standards of the most demanding ocean cruisers. It features a Watt&Sea hydrodynamic generator, Solara solar panels, and a Hydrovane wind steering system installed in 2018, ensuring energy independence on long passages. In terms of safety, it is equipped with an EPIRB beacon, rescue systems such as a sling and inflatable life rings, fire extinguishers, jackstays from bow to stern, and three manual bilge pumps, in addition to an emergency rudder and fittings for a jury rig, installed during the Golden Globe Race refit. The main CQR anchor and chain were renewed in 2018, and the Lofrans Kobra electric windlass facilitates anchoring maneuvers even in adverse conditions.

On deck, the sailboat features treated and renewed teak in 2023, as well as hardware and accessories from recognized brands such as Lewmar and Spinlock. It has four Lewmar winches (two 46 and two 40 self-tailing), a cockpit table, a steering pedestal, and an outboard support, completing a comfortable and safe maneuvering environment. The rigging corresponds to a cutter ketch rig, with masts accessible via steps, lazy jacks on both masts, and new Profurl C350 and C320 furlers installed in 2018. The sail inventory includes a mainsail with three reefs, a mizzen, a genoa, a stay sail, a storm sail, a trysail, a spinnaker, and a gennaker, all renewed in 2018 and practically unused between 2019 and 2023.

The interior of this sailboat is as practical as it is comfortable. It offers two cabins and five sleeping places, with custom mattresses newly installed in 2023 and a main cabin in the bow under the Hercules hatch. The U-shaped salon to starboard and the quarter berth behind the navigation station to port allow for a functional layout both at sea and at anchor. The bathroom features a shower and sink, and the kitchen, completely renovated during the refit, includes a sink with pressurized water and a manual seawater intake, designed for autonomy on board. The freshwater capacity reaches 700 liters, allowing for long stays without dependence on ports.

The onboard instrumentation package is another of its strong points. It is equipped with Raymarine electronics, Furuno GP33 for GPS, Raymarine ST5000 autopilot, Standard Horizon DSC VHF, Sestrel compass, AIS installed in 2023, clock and barometer, as well as LED navigation lights and 12V charging sockets distributed throughout the boat. All electrical wiring and 12V/220V systems were renewed in 2018, and the main batteries are from 2023, adding peace of mind for the sailor on long-range voyages.

Located in Barcelona, this sailboat allows easy access to one of the most vibrant nautical areas of the Mediterranean, with optimal infrastructure for departure towards the Atlantic or open sea. Its technical profile, combined with the history of renovations and equipment, makes it an ideal choice for sailors seeking a pre-owned sailboat with a proven track record, prepared for both circumnavigations and family cruises with high standards of safety and comfort. In short, the Belliure ENDURANCE 35 is the perfect option for those who wish for a sailboat capable of facing great challenges, backed by a legendary brand and outstanding maintenance.
